    Looking for a different culture

    I'll answer as much as I can at that thread. And comment a little bit about the free healthcare.

    Poorly Describe Your Special Interest

    I spy other people's lives without them knowing about me and that I am seeing everything that they do, no matter how private situations, no matter how they hide.

    More On [Face-Blindness]...

    I do have had moments when I have been in a lecture, I have seen the lecturer only once or twice before, left the classroom, remembered that I should ask something, and returned to meet the lecturer at the corridor, and I have had to ask "were you X who were just lecturing about Y?" simply...

    Deleted Scenes you wish had been kept in movies/shows

    First thing that comes to my mind is that I would have really wanted to like the first Suicide Squad. But it was a bad movie with one-dimensional characters (but still, one of the best DC-movies back then, which was worrying). When I saw deleted scenes and heard some rumors what was planned to...

    Are you understood?

    During my entire 48 years long life I have had only a couple of such persons I have felt connected to. Most people, even ones I have considered as my best friends, I have felt to be a little bit out of sync with me. People often seem to have hard time to get my point and are trying to predict...

    Connection with Antisocial Disorders

    Pay attention to the rest of his message. He just tried to explain to you how the mechanism works without dysfunctional family or obvious psychological traumas. And about your original question: There was a local thug at my neighborhood and school when I was at my mid-teens. I don't know if he...

    Professional Autism Descriptions Vs Practical Examples ?

    Same. Worst of it is that I can't always prioritize associations. It takes an extra mental effort to think which branch of though is worth of following and which is not. For example, when I am reading a text for an exam, I end up googling things that are not in a scope of the course, and don't...

    Questions About Coding

    To give a perspective about why coding skills are appreciated: - Excel-spreadsheets work mostly with basic math. One step further is using conditionals like "if X>0 then calculate X^2 otherwise return 0". Bigger step is to include a button that adds a new column and calculates new initial...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    Well... At least I answered to her initial question about whitish layer in a way I understood it, and others suggested other possibilities and dangers to consider. So if she was really interested only about the wound, she got the answer to that. I agree that dwelling further and getting agitated...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    You are right. I realize that having an access to Internet and free-to-join discussion forums is not an indication of even minimal accessible services. I am saying this as an overall comment about the protocol, not meaning to get defensive or anything: How should we act differently? To not...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    Didn't pay attention to this first. Twitching is worrying. Could the wound be so deep that you have a nerve damage? To a doctor! Honestly...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    I agree with others: ER or doctor and a contact with a police and/or social services. Even if your father is fine for 99% of time, that 1% is still too much, especially if it wasn't the only time something like that happened. About your description of the wound: It would help to have a photo...

    Not always noticeable features,

    I do also that kind of thing. Usually when I am jogging or something. Climbing uphill I start mumbling stuff like that to myself and also some totally random words "three", "eight", "caterpillar" and so on... I don't know where they come from, but it is relieving. Like scratching an itch.

    Not always noticeable features,

    Speaking in a very precise and well-formulated manner, using long sentences and a lot of definitions. Sounding like a "little professor". Spending an hour to formulate a two-lines long forum message like this. (Edit: Oops... TBRS1 already came up with this, and with the first reply...) 🙄

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hi! Welcome! I wasn't only feeling like an alien, I was actually called alien - more accurately speaking, I was called UFO. I carry that name with pride, because I admit that it feels rather accurate description 😁
